The activity comprised of two rounds, preliminary and final rounds. The major aim of this club activity is to make sure that an individual would use their basic Mathematical logics to solve aptitude based questions effectively and give an impromptu talk.

In the ‘Preliminary round’, participants were expected to solve 10 basic Mathematical logic questions in the stipulated time of 10 minutes. Participants were shortlisted based on their answers to these questions and the time consumed. The participants who gave the appropriate answers in short duration were qualified to the ‘Final round’.
